Alongside the issues of weight and healthy eating, other issues are prevalent in our society and are issues we regularly encounter at ABC. Self harm is a serious problem, particularly amongst young people, and as the Uk continues to have the highest rates of self-harm in Europe, increasing numbers of those who contact us about eating problems also need support and information about self-harm. Wider issues such as stress, depression, loneliness and struggles with low self-esteem fuel eating problems, with 60% of teenage girls and around ¼ of adults believing they would be happier if they were thinner. As adult responsibilities and pressures are taken on younger and younger, many children find themselves ill-equipped to cope with them, and therefore are vulnerable to the lie that losing weight might make them feel happier and more in control.
